He describes \"the dozens,\" Christmas rituals, and the coded (as well as blatant) sexual imagery that has always been a vital element of every popular song tradition. With extensive source notes, photographs, a discography, and two indexes of song titles and singers, this book serves as a sound, serious, and entertaining guide to the blues heritage that has vitalized so much of the world's musical culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735618322720,"sku":"NEW0306803445","price":25.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/814lxg6jf3L_a1f040a5-8491-49e4-9341-16e431e9e609.jpg?v=1779497007","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/screening-the-blues-aspects-of-the-blues-tradition-0306803445","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
